Mayor Michael Gonnelli sent a letter to the MetLife Stadium president, Brad Mayne, on Thursday, detailing the disturbance. MetLife and Cornerstone Properties hosted the event, according to town officials.

“We are aware of the noise complaints on Sunday from last weekend's two-day music festival,” a spokesperson for the stadium said in a statement. “While there have been no previous noise complaints for this same event held in 2012, MetLife Stadium will monitor the noise level during events and make whatever adjustments are necessary to abide by the law."

East Rutherford Mayor James Cassella, whose borough is the host community to MetLife Stadium, said he did not hear of complaints in his town.

At the Electric Daisy Carnival there are thousands in attendance – dancing, grooving, exchanging "kandi" beads, all of them out to have a good time. Many are colorfully painted and accessorized.

“But people have to understand that there are people in Secaucus who live closer to the stadium than anyone in our borough,” said Cassella, referring to the lack of residences in town adjacent to the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

Cassella added that “if the wind blows a certain way,” that would affect the volume levels heard by Secaucus residents. Even some East Rutherford residents who live on the highest-elevated streets occasionally can hear music from stadium events. Electric Daisy Carnival took place both in the stadium and in the stadium parking lots.

In his letter, Gonnelli said sound levels were recorded at 90 decibels at times – 25 decibels above what was allowed – and that loud noise continued past 10 p.m.

“Residents on Memorial Day Weekend could not leave their windows open, could not hear television or radios at normal volumes, could not sit in their yards or enjoy their property without constant noise,” he wrote. “Some even had trouble putting young children to sleep.”

Noise summonses

The large volume of complaints drove law enforcement, the Hudson Regional Health Commission, and officials to respond Sunday night, Gonnelli said.

He also asked for a response as to how MetLife plans to prevent this from reoccurring, adding that one person was arrested on drug charges and several people were admitted to the hospital on suspected overdose.

The town has issued summonses for excess noise to MetLife, Insomniac, Inc. – the event promoter – and The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, according to a press release from the mayor’s office.
